Here are some more internal results from the ABC/Washington Post Poll that are quite pleasing, even though they had the top line presidential numbers even:
By a margin of 58% to 32%, Americans believe Mitt Romney will do more to favor the Wealthy instead of the Middle Class.
By a margin of 62% to 23%, Americans believe President Obama does more and will do more to favore the Middle Class instead of the Wealthy.
By a margin of 61% to 27%, Americans like President Obama personally and think he is a friendly person.
The Economist, a bastion of liberal thought (/sarcasm), doesn’t seem to like Mittens:
Mr Romney may calculate that it is best to keep quiet: the faltering economy will drive voters towards him. It is more likely, however, that his evasiveness will erode his main competitive advantage. A businessman without a credible plan to fix a problem stops being a credible businessman. So does a businessman who tells you one thing at breakfast and the opposite at supper. Indeed, all this underlines the main doubt: nobody knows who this strange man really is. It is half a decade since he ran something. Why won’t he talk about his business career openly? Why has he been so reluctant to disclose his tax returns? How can a leader change tack so often? Where does he really want to take the world’s most powerful country?
Meanwhile, one of the right wing conservative terrorists who planned to commit treason, attack the United States, and assassinate President Obama was four years ago a Republican page at the RNC in Minnesota, no doubt fawning over Sarah Palin:
Isaac Aguigui, the Army private and alleged ringleader of a plot to assassinate Barack Obama and “take over” Ft. Stewart in Georgia, apparently served as a page at the 2008 Republican National Convention in Minneapolis, Minn. That’s his mug shot after he was arrested for the alleged murder of Pvt. Michael Roark on the left. At right is a 2008 Reuters photo with the caption: “Republican National Convention page Isaac Aguigui watches from the edge of the floor at the start of the first session of the 2008 Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minnesota September 1, 2008.”
Finally, it appears that former Pennsylvania Senator Arlen Specter (R then D) is “fighting for his life,” after being diagnosed with an agressive new form of cancer. Specter is one of those politicians that I hated, and then I loved, that I loved to hate and hated to love. Let’s hope this third battle with cancer is not the last.
